In Sunday School this week the question was asked: "What's on top of your Christmas Tree?"
Apparently, the hands-down winner is a star, followed distantly by an angel. It occurred to me that these two favorite tree-toppers were yet a further demonstration of our being caught between two stories. The star, of course, is from the Matthean birth narrative (it's not mentioned in Luke at all), while the angel is clearly Lukan (it appears only in dreams in Matthew's version of the story).
Anyhoo, Happy Christmas to all!!!
